Timelies all!
The party we went to today was dinosaur themed, because the birthday girl likes them. This included having the kids dig for dinosaurs in a bin filled with sand that had small toy dinosaurs in it. You can imagine how much fun they had digging around.
do people have pimento cheese recipes? my grandmother always ate it and I found it disgusting, but I think hers was just cheddar cheese, mayo, and pimentos. I recently had some somewhere and it was DELICIOUS and I think it was much more cream cheese and no or very little mayo.
My grandma made a cream cheese and olive sandwich that was just cream cheese, a little milk, and Spanish olives. But I don't think that was pimento cheese I don't know if I have ever had pimento cheese.
The first hit on Google looks good to me and I think I have made similar. If you use less mayo you will want something to make it less firm: traditional beer cheese recipes are similar but use beer and chop it finer (usually a blender).
Cream cheese and olive sandwiches are delicious, but definitely not pimento cheese!
The pimento cheese I had in NOLA was incredible. I'll do some searching to see if I can find their recipe.
ltc's new cartoon obsession is "Abby Hatcher". The main character keeps saying "brain spark!" when she figures something out, but I keep hearing it as "brain fart".
This NOLA article on pimento spread includes a recipe that has mayo and cream cheese. Now I want some. Brain spark! [link]
The idea of making pimiento cheese at home is kind of blowing my mind.
We had a pimiento cheese party at my friends' bar a couple of months ago. A food historian made a version from an old cookbook that was made with butter. It was tasty but I prefer the classic version.
